Patient's question:
My child is 1 year and 5 months old. They walk a bit crookedly. The photos suspect congenital hip dysplasia. At this age, surgery is required. How to treat pediatric congenital hip dysplasia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip in children must involve a pediatric orthopedic specialist taking standard pelvic anteroposterior and frog-leg lateral radiographs for evaluation to prevent misdiagnosis and excessive treatment. Developmental dysplasia of the acetabulum is divided into two cases: partial dislocation and complete dislocation, thus requiring different treatment methods. For partial dislocation, children under the age of 3 should continue to be monitored, and as the acetabular index gradually decreases, it will gradually normalize.
